As far as we know, and most likely, you cannot use {HISlaH}, {HIja'}, or 
{ghobe'} to create tag questions.  For that, use {qar'a'}.  {cha' mutlhegh 
tu'lu', qar'a'?}

Never put {-pu'} or any other Type 7 Verb Suffix on the second verb of an 
{'e'} sentence!

"I merely accomplish that that sentence cannot be definite truth"?  What do 
you mean?
